Question

How to draw A Area Model For 29×56

Answer 1

First, notice that:

`29\text{ x }56=1624`

now, we can write 29 as 20 + 9 and 56 as 50 + 6, so, we can draw the following rectangles:

Then, if we calculate the area of each of the rectangles, we get the following:

then, if we add all the areas together, we get:

`1000+120+450+54=1120+504=1624`

which is the same result as 29 x 56
